Nikhil Parihar is a Mumbai-based film editor and a graduate of the Satyajit Ray Film & Television Institute, Kolkata. His work on Rangbaaz: Darr Ki Rajneeti earned an OTT Filmfare nomination for Best Editing, and Fire in the Mountains, which he associate-edited, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
